Feral bricks were found buried in the grass and piled along the edge of properties - remnants from houses, schools, and industry. The lost architecture only exists in memories and in the memory of digital archives, transformed from clay and mortar to bits and pixels. This exhibition considers the relationship between physical matter and digital memory. As I created plaster casts, digital scans, and 3D printed replicas of found bricks, information was lost, transformed, and new information added, much like how we remember the past. These left behind, feral bricks are full of potential energy, and could once again become architecture serving the future of Spartanburg. Instead of disappearing into the landscape, a patchwork quilt of bricks will become a new public space in the near future.
